2016 Music for All National Festival – Fundraising opportunity

Every year for the past nine years, Music for All hosts the National Festival downtown Indy. This event is home to the National Concert Band Festival, Percussion Festival, Orchestra Festival, Jazz festivals. YAMAHA, their National Presenting Sponsor, loans over $500,000.00 worth of percussion equipment to be used for the festival.

They pay Fishers Percussion to help facilitate this! This single event lower the cost of participation for our student fees. Students are expected to help. However, when parents help, they earn funds towards their student account.

Music for All provides (2) 24’ box trucks for us to transport equipment. We usually like to have (1) driver and (3) helpers per delivery/pick up.

Saturday March 5 – Gear is unpacked from flight cases and stored in FHS percussion room

Sunday March 6 – BOA comes in to label gear according to location
